Hi everyone,
This week marks the final blog in the MyPeacein50 series: “You Are the Practice – Closing the Circle.”
When I began this journey, I thought I was writing primarily about peace, nervous systems, grounding, boundaries, and daily practice. But over time, the series slowly widened into s...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s MyPeacein50 reflection is called “Aligning Work with Values.”
Over the past year, my writing around peace, nervous systems, and grounding has slowly widened into larger questions about leadership, systems, humanity, and the conditions people are trying to function inside...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s MyPeacein50 reflection is called “Visioning a Just Future.”
Over the past year, much of this series has focused on nervous systems, grounding, boundaries, peace, and daily practice. But lately, I’ve noticed my thinking beginning to widen into larger questions about leade...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s MyPeacein50 blog is called “Designing Your Daily Practice.”
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about how often I approach change as though it will happen through one dramatic breakthrough — a perfect routine, a new planner, a sudden burst of discipline, or finally “getting...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something many of us rarely pause long enough to consider:
What story am I living inside?
As I turn fifty this year, I’ve found myself asking deeper questions about identity, meaning, and direction. Who am I now? What matters most? What parts of my story fe...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something deeply personal: finding and trusting our own voice.
For a long time, it was hard for me to know whether what I was expressing was truly my perspective, or simply what I thought I should think or say. Like many people, I learned to adapt my voice ...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something many of us are feeling right now — grief and anger.
Some of the grief is personal. Some of it is collective. Some of it is difficult to name.
We are living in a time of rapid change and ongoing uncertainty. Many people are carrying layers of loss ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something both deeply personal and profoundly universal: belonging.
Most of us can remember moments when we felt fully included — welcomed without having to prove ourselves. And most of us can also remember moments when we felt just slightly outside the circ...
 Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something that has not always come easily to me: play.
Even as a child, I often felt more like a little adult than a carefree kid. I loved recess — four square, tetherball, the feeling of fresh air between classroom periods. But imaginative play did not alw...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something that has surprised me in its simplicity and depth: gardening as a form of prayer.
Not prayer in the traditional sense. Not something requiring specific words or beliefs. But something quieter. Something that happens when your hands are in the soil ...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog is about something that surprised me.
Years ago, when I worked at the Children’s Hospital, Healing Touch practitioners would visit our staff meetings. I was curious—but skeptical.
How could something so gentle have such a profound impact?
And then I experienced it my...
Hi everyone,
This week’s blog explores something that has quietly reshaped my understanding of both relationships and nervous system regulation: partner presence.
So much of healing focuses on how we regulate ourselves. But most of us live in relationship—with partners, family members, and others...
